Monday, 6th February—The Qin Empire. 

Leo was listening to his secretary report his schedule for the day when the door banged open. 

He looked up at the incomer with no slight interest. "What now?" 

Julius swung his fist but missed it when Leo dodged it and grabbed his hand in a death grip. 

"If you have something to say, go ahead and say it. If not, the door is right behind you. And if you want to fight, you can go ahead and join a boxing club." Leo stared at the man before him intimidatingly. 

The secretary took it as a cue to leave and give them some privacy. 

"You bastard! You have gone too far!" Julius roared while trying to attack with his other hand, which Leo grabbed effortlessly and listened to his meaningless rant. "You did it on purpose, didn't you?! The Qin Empire's stocks are dropping dramatically. Did you do this just to please that woman who wants you dead?"
